OA and grey literature

Marcus A. Banks, Towards a Continuum of Scholarship: The Eventual Collapse of the Distinction Between Grey and non-Grey Literature. In Dominic Farace (ed.), Proceedings GL7: Seventh International Conference on Grey Literature, Nancy, France, 2005.
Abstract: This paper argues that the distinction between grey and non-grey (or white) literature will become less relevant over time, as online discovery options proliferate. In the meantime, the political success of the open access publishing movement has valuable lessons for proponents of increasing access to grey literature.
